Wow, we did the exact same trip a couple years ago, and also stayed at that amazing cabin place. Took home 80 lbs of crystals! Highly recommend.

We also stopped by the Arkansas diamond mine and tried our hand at it. Way less fun, with a near zero chance of finding so much as a speck of a diamond.

Yes! We had the same experience! Mining for diamonds was real work, and we never found a trace.

The crystals were beautiful, and the kids could find them with ease. Tons of fun.

They each got their own pickaxe, which they loved.

They claimed they were already expert diggers because of all the hours they spent playing Minecraft. "We know how to dig, Dad."
